Chapter 111 Adopting Voldemort

(Second update)

Author: Kakemaekawa

(Second update)

“It was just built not long ago, no wonder it couldn’t be found before.”

After some searching, Li Chuan finally found the address of Wu's Orphanage. It turned out that the orphanage was only completed on December 5th.

He used to practice magic at the manor and looked for this orphanage when he had time, but he never had any clues.

Mainly, he only remembers that it seemed to be November or December, and the specific day he was born. It was too long ago and he can't remember clearly.

As the second generation Dark Lord, there is no doubt about Voldemort's magical talent. Taking him under his command when he was still a baby will be a very powerful help in the future.

Moreover, Voldemort also invented many new magics, the most obvious of which is flying, which is the only magic that allows wizards to fly in the air without the help of any magic items.

"Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"

As soon as Li Chuan walked into the orphanage, a little girl who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old and wearing work clothes hurriedly came over and stopped him.

"Is your director, Mrs. Cole, here? I want to talk to her about funding your orphanage."

Before he came, he found out clearly that the Wu's Orphanage was built by a woman named Cole.

It is said that because her husband and son were killed in World War I, she spent all her savings to build this orphanage.

"Madam is taking care of Mrs. Merope. I will take you over to find him right now?"

When the little girl heard that she was a kind person who wanted to support the orphanage, she didn't dare to neglect him, so she quickly walked into the house with Li Chuan.

Li Chuan was startled when he heard the name Merope, because he knew that Voldemort's mother seemed to be named Merope Gaunt.

"Mrs. Merope? Isn't this an orphanage?"

"Oh, that was an accident. On the day of the first snow, the day after our orphanage was built, Mrs. Merope collapsed at the door.

The director discovered that Mrs. Merope was very weak and seemed to be close to giving birth, so he temporarily admitted her to live in the orphanage and began to take care of her."

The little girl explained.

So, Voldemort is not born yet.

Li Chuan rolled his eyes and had a rough idea.

Soon, under the leadership of the little girl, Li Chuan arrived at the room where Mrs. Cole and Merope were.

In the room, Merope was lying on the bed, with a big belly, eyes dull, and coughing from time to time, looking extremely haggard.

It's that feeling of being heartbroken and not having any nostalgia for life anymore.

Mrs. Cole, who was well-informed, was feeding her porridge and persuading her.

"Dean, a gentleman is looking for you."

The little girl stood at the door and whispered inside.

Mrs. Cole turned to look at the little girl and Li Chuan, with a look of doubt on her face, but she still put down the porridge in her hand and walked out.

"Sir, who are you?"

"Tom Foley, I heard that a new orphanage was built here, so I wanted to donate some money to see if it could help."

Li Chuan said with a smile.

When Mrs. Cole heard about the donation, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She had spent almost all her savings to build this orphanage. She was worried about the expenses of adopting orphans later, when some kind-hearted people came to visit. This was of course the best thing.

"Mr. Foley, let's go to the office and talk slowly."

Half an hour later, after a pleasant exchange, Li Chuan left the orphanage.

As one of the twenty-eight holy families, the Foley family has a long history. The family's savings are not only gold galleons, but also antiques that are valuable in the Muggle world, and there are many in the manor.

Any auction item can sell a large amount of Muggle currency, and part of it can be used to fund orphanages. It is not too easy for Li Chuan.

"Since Voldemort hasn't been born yet, let's wait a little longer."

Originally, he planned to show his strength by funding the orphanage and adopt Voldemort naturally, so that the director of the orphanage would not stop him.

Now that Voldemort is still in his belly, there is no need to be so anxious. It will happen sooner or later anyway.

After leaving the orphanage, Li Chuan directly apparated back to the manor.

The next time he spent was teaching Credence how to learn magic, and then he would take Credence to visit Newt whenever he had free time.

Because of their previous friendship in New York, Newt had no reservations about Li Chuan. The two discussed magical animals and exchanged magic, which steadily improved Li Chuan's magical abilities.

Especially regarding the traceless stretching spell, the greatest progress has been made.

Occasionally, he would go to the orphanage to see how Merop was doing. Since he had invested a lot of money, Mrs. Cole treated Li Chuan as a distinguished guest every time he went there.

It wasn't until December 31st that Voldemort was finally born in Wu's Orphanage.

When Li Chuan came over, the childbirth had ended and Merope had also passed away.

"I remember her saying to me, 'I want him to look like his daddy.' Then she told me that the boy's middle name was Tom after his father, and that his middle name was Marvolo after her own father, and she said that the boy

Her last name was Riddle. Then she said nothing more and died soon after."

Mrs. Cole held the newly born Voldemort and told Li Chuan Merop's last words.

Li Chuan looked at the little Voldemort and said to Mrs. Cole:

"The little guy's name is Tom, and my name is Tom too. Maybe this is fate. Mrs. Cole, don't you know if I can adopt him?"

"Oh, that's great. Although the little guy has a miserable life, if he can be adopted by a kind-hearted person like Mr. Foley, he will definitely live a very happy life in the future."

When she heard that Li Chuan wanted to adopt little Tom, Mrs. Cole agreed without even thinking about it.

In his eyes, Li Chuan is a very kind-hearted person. He not only funds the orphanage, but also occasionally comes to visit the orphans here. The key is that his family is very rich.

It is naturally the best thing for the orphans in the orphanage to be adopted by such people.

"He is also a pitiful and pathetic person, but don't worry, I will raise your child well."

When leaving the orphanage with little Voldemort in his arms, Li Chuan placed a bouquet of flowers in front of Merope's tombstone.

Merope Gaunt is a poor person who has been abused by her father since she was a child and has been living in fear, but she is also very pathetic. She fell in love with a local wealthy and very handsome Muggle.

The Muggle didn't like her, so she used a love potion to force the Muggle to fall in love with her, until one day she thought the Muggle would really like her and stopped using the love potion.

The fact is that the Muggle didn't like her, and was very afraid that he would be controlled by Merlott, so he left her resolutely.

In fact, this is normal. At least Li Chuan felt that the Muggle was a victim from the beginning to the end, and his reaction was not too extreme. It was considered kind to not find other Muggles to burn Merope, the witch who had been forcibly controlling him.
